Sept 2003] Ten years of therapy in one night
In 1962, Howard Lotsof, a 19-year-old heroin addict in New York,
ordered from a chemist iboga, a plant used in West African rituals, and tried it
for extra kicks. After consuming the bitter rootbark powder, he experienced a
visionary tour of his early memories. Thirty hours later, when the effects had
subsided, he found that he had lost all craving for heroin, without withdrawal
symptoms of any kind. He said he then gave iboga to seven other addicts and five
stopped taking drugs immediately afterwards.

THE ORTHOMOLECULAR TREATMENT OF
DRUG ADDICTION by Archie Kalokerinos A.M.M., M.B.B.S., Ph.D., F.A.P.M.,
Glen Dettman A.M.M., BA, Ph.D., F.A.P.M.We have developed a non-toxic, detoxication procedure
where we can take the addicts off heroin or methadone with no withdrawal
symptoms. The addicts have no desire to return to the drug and if they
do take a "fix," it is like injecting plain water, the detoxication is
so complete and rapid. ........Methadone is far worse on the body, from
a metabolic point of view, than is heroin.........It is unconscionable
to me to put a person on methadone maintenance with no way to get them
off......Why is it that the media supports orthodox views so readily,
rejecting all other avenues of scientific investigation?

[1977] Vitamin C and Drug
Addiction: Letter to the editor, Orthomolecular Psychiatry We found
the vested interests of the current drug abuse programs most uncooperative, even
to a point of hostility. Our main objective was to develop a successful and
workable nontoxic treatment for drug addiction, and this we did. We regret that
we neither had the money nor the time nor the facilities to find the mechanism
of how it works. We hope that someone with more adequate facilities than ours
will continue this work, and possibly answer the questions that Dr. Davis has
raised.
